Trainings
I offer a variety of trainings on antisemitism and its intersections with racial justice, and economic justice. I work with all ages and institutional constituencies. ​
The trainings are generally between 1-2.5 hours total; can be broken up into two sessions if desired. My general mode is engaging, fast-paced presentation with frequent opportunities to comment and ask questions, followed by (in the full 2.5 hour version) small-group, hands-on practice scenarios tailored to the setting.
​
The majority of my trainings are conducted over Zoom. I sometimes conduct trainings in-person, and am willing to discuss that possibility. I always adapt my trainings to best suit the setting.
